After being welded to my collection of primes for a number of years, I had the opportunity to pick up a 24-105 when I moved from to a 5D Mk I. I found it slow, and the IQ just didn't compare to my previous lenses. Sold it and picked up a 24-70, and while I still don't use the zoom as much as...

Going from to is a game changer as far as photography is concerned. Long zoom > 200m are pretty much only useful for the latter (although I know there will be plenty of people who'll take offence at such a sweeping statement ;) ) and for everything else, you'd be better suited with a wide...

Really great work....tilt shift pics are always fun, and that's two great examples. I keep going back to the first one. Great colours, a beautiful composition with the DOF across both train and building - it's exceptionally well done.

Caveat emptor

Glad to see that I'm not the only one being cynical - that whole spiel looks like a blatent attempt at SEO...

Just to add more mud to the water, I just didn't ever get on with my 24-105....just too damn slow. Bought the 24-70 and loved it...

You're nervous AFTER you got the order? :D

I'm going to be reluctantly trollish (as I appreciate the time you took to consider and post), but given my frustrations over not being able to find something I like, and being very specific in my requirements (especially ones which i wouldn't consider particularly 'normal'), I don't see the...

Thanks to everyone! Stig & Stuart - Freeman's book does look good, although I'm looking for less of a technical/instructional book than one of a particular style that I'd like to try out for myself. But I have a softspot for asian photography, so might take a look. Stig - Street Photography...

I got a bunch of book vouchers for a birthday back in March, and just recently had the time to browse through a couple of bookstore's Photography sections. Utterly disappointed by the lack of anything remotely inspirational tbh. While I acnowledge that my taste in photography styles is a...

not that it has much to do with which lenses you shod take, but where abouts in Indonesia are you going to be?

Seeing CT's 7D Hints & Tips made me realise that I'd love to get some words of wisdom from anyone who has spent any time using the 5D II's HD video. I love the quality of the files, and having seen some incredible movies online I was hoping someone might be able to share some experiences as...

:D Don't worry....I won't be abandoning my ridiculous DoF anytime soon, and given I've been shooting like this for the better part of ten years I doubt it's even possible. However, I do often think that I've missed some excellent shots just by misjudging the DoF to the point where something...

Made me laugh....I'd just finished slating someone on another forum on which I'd posted a selection because of all the pics that one is the most classic and in my opinion possibly the most boring. Sure, it's a nice pic, and does the job - most people who have seen it have liked it, but it was...

....although perhaps less relevant to those of us who aren't fluent in arabic :D and probably only really pertinent to two of the shots above - I really should make an effort so shoot with a wider DOF though, valid point. thanks
